Eye-protective shade for augmented reality smart glasses

Abstract

An eye-protective shade for the AR (Augmented Reality) smart glasses is provided, including: an eye protection unit disposed in front of the AR smart glasses, wherein the eye protection unit is disposed with a pair of shading portions capable of filtering light, and the pair of the shading portions respectively correspond to a pair of semitransparent display portions disposed on the AR smart glasses, and the pair of shading portions are made of translucent material and / or opaque material; when reading digital information by use of the eye-protective shade along with the AR smart glasses, the eye-protective shade protects the user's eyeballs and the macula from direct light radiation while the peripheral retina is continuously in contact with external light sources. The present disclosure can change the user's reading habits and moderate visual fatigue when reading.

Benefits of technology

[0013]The primary purpose of the present disclosure is to provide an eye-protective shade for AR (Augmented Reality) smart glasses, comprising: an eye protection unit disposed in front of the AR smart glasses, wherein the eye protection unit is disposed with a pair of shading portions capable of filtering light, and the pair of the shading portions respectively correspond to a pair of semitransparent display portions disposed on the AR smart glasses, and the pair of shading portions are made of translucent material and / or opaque material; when reading digital information by use of the eye-protective shade along with the AR smart glasses, the eye-protective shade protects the user's eyeballs and the macula from direct light radiation while the peripheral retina is continuously in contact with external light sources.

Problems solved by technology

It is generally believed by the ophthalmological community that prolonged periods of reading and writing and insufficient outdoor activities are main factors that cause visual fatigue and deterioration of myopia.

When spending too much time indoors watching TV, reading, surfing the internet, and so on, the following four major causes may result in visual fatigue and deterioration of myopia: (1) prolonged ciliary muscle contraction, (2) prolonged convergence, (3) insufficient contact time with sunlight and (4) relative peripheral hyperopia.

Conventional myopic eyeglasses only correct the central myopia but do not correct the relative peripheral hyperopia.

When light focuses behind the retina, the eye's axial length increases to enable the light to focus on the surface of the retina, which causes deterioration of myopia.

The ciliary muscle contraction leads to visual fatigue and easily causes deterioration of myopia.

However, the contraction of the medial rectus muscle may cause high intraocular pressure, and the high intraocular pressure may cause elongation of the posterior segment of the eyeballs.

Thus the growth of the anteroposterior diameter of the eyeballs results in myopia deterioration.

Australian clinical studies report that too little time for outdoor activities during the day and insufficient contact time with sunlight may gradually lead to deterioration of myopia.

As shown in FIG. 10, people like to read or use electronic products with their heads down, which may cause neck stiffness and shoulder soreness.

People like to read in a sitting posture with their heads down for prolonged periods; it is well-known that such a reading habit easily causes cardiovascular diseases and weakness of muscles, bones, joints, and so on.

When reading or using electronic products indoors or outdoors, visual fatigue occurs easily because the reading material or screens of the electronic products may make eyes suffer from stray light and / or reflected light.

When reading or using electronic products on a vehicle, such as an automobile or an airplane, the target screen is affected by the vehicle vibration, causing reading difficulty, visual fatigue, and dizziness.

However, prevalent disadvantages of these conventional training methods and therapeutic instruments include complex structure, ineffectiveness, long and boring process of treatment, and so on.

To lively young people and busy people, it is difficult to implement these training methods and equipment effectively.
